At the end of the day …. “Dream for My Child”!!

Gut-Wrenching Ad Highlights The Sacrifices Parents Make For Their Kids Every Day

There’s nothing parents wouldn’t do for their kids, even if it means masking their own struggles.

This tear-jerking ad from MetLife Hong Kong is a tribute to the sacrifices parents make for their children on a daily basis.

Titled “‘My dad’s story’: Dream for My Child,” the commercial shows a father reading an essay his young daughter wrote about him.

As the little girl’s voice narrates the essay, she praises her father for being her “Superman,” “the sweetest daddy in the world,” “the smartest,” “the most clever,” and “the kindest.”

But then she reveals she knows more about her father than he lets on — the pain he hides behind his smile. “He lies,” she says. “He lies about having a job. He lies about having money. He lies that he’s not tired. He lies that he’s not hungry. He lies that we have everything.

Our fathers carry half of our genetic makeup. Our relationship with our father plays a huge part of who we will become. In many segments of society, people grow up without ever knowing their fathers. This is unfortunate because fathers should play as important a role in raising their children as mothers.

A father is the model of a man for his daughter and she will choose a man who is like him. A father is the model for his son as well. Fortunately, there is a trend for fathers to be more active in their children’s lives.

I want to offer any knowledge that I have to anyone "out there" who is interested. My views are liberal in almost every sense. My knowledge is "eclectic" - a bit of everything. Music and reading are my passion. Blogging has also become a very interesting endeavor. Metaphysical topics attract me. I'm interested in news reporting human issues like injustice, discrimination and abuse - the "wrongly" affected.
My intention is to bring this knowledge to an understandable level and to help anyone in need. I'm open to questions and will answer them to the best of my ability.
Currently working on an enterprise whose main mission will be to bring peoples of all walks of life together. To be one .... since we ALL are ONE!!
The future looks bright and promising!!!
